(On EU PS4 server) Yesterday after work and as usual I got home and as of late dreaded to log into ESO. As I already suspected there will be LAG I was not surprised to experience horrific LAG. So I logged out. I played ESO since PS4 launch everyday, I love vet trials the most. Could do 35k dps easily but as the lag increases with every update/upgrade my dps and rotation suffers. Now I can barely manage 17k dps. Guild kicked me for not doing required dps. So I cant PVE anymore...
Ok then lets PVP since everybody LAGs and so nobody will care if I attack the air because of LAG. What a relieve, I was right, nobody cares when I attack the air or just die suddenly (LAG creates the situation where I don't even see what has happened, I just die after a horrible sound.)
But its unbearable, constantly loading and crashes, never being able to combat actively, always dying, its a drag. Even with all the lag I still managed to get on leader board (overall 76 and in the pact 23 ranking on vivec)
So last night after a lot of lag I logged out and watched Bleach online, being bored I went to the PSN store and browsed the sales, saw crown creates on sale and remembered that I need to buy some for upcoming update. I always buy the 5500 box. Selected the 5500 box and proceeded to check out. I was about to hit the order and pay button but then something happened. I can not think why? Why do I need to buy this crown crates, why indeed? I can not PVE anymore, PVP is a lag fest so the only thing left to do is home decoration. Cool but I've reached cap a while ago so I can not even do that, storage is a joke, my dream was to collect complete armor sets in the decent traits. Cant even store a 1/4 of that. I have 14 characters at 200 spaces each and the bank at 480, between all of them I have 56 open spaces, pointless to buy decorations to keep for later.
This is a problem, there is no aspect left for me in ESO...
I decided to cancel the crown crate of 5500 (was going to buy 4) and started to scroll the games section of PSN store. I decided for the first time since ESO ps4 launch that I'm going to buy another game. Decided on diablo3.
I was so amazed, I have completely forgotten how it feels to play a non lagging game. For the first time in more that a year the screen did not freeze when I battle enemy's. I know diablo is not a mmo and its only the monsters that gets generated by the server. Really one can not compare the 2. But my point is that it was so nice to play a lag free game that I can not see myself returning to ESO. I got so used to the lag in eso that diablo lag free overwhelmed me completely. For the first time in a year I went to bed relaxed, not agree as usual.
The only thing now left to do is cancel my sub from ESO (I don't give stuff away so don't even ask), its truly a sad moment for me but I just can not get over the lag free experience. It was just to nice...
